Hey Pelman, I like the pocketwatch. It's cute. What can you tell us about it?

Thanks Shangas. It is an Elgin Nat'l Watch Company make. If memory serves me correctly, the dealer from whom my wife brought the watch from told her it was from the 1920s. I have not opened up the watch in many a moon, but I might have to do that to verify this. Unfortunately, I don't get to use my pocket watches for daily wear.

Both the Braun AW10 watch and the Rotring 600 FP are fine examples of the Bauhaus style or should I rather say Bauhaus doctrine. The only ornamentation is a little bit of color and even that is functional. The yellow and white hands on the black background make the time readable in the dark.
